US Planning Invasion, Says Chavez

O.K.
I don't know if the US is planning an invasion or not, first of all, the State department isn't in the invasion planning business. Regardless do you really think that the State dept. would just admit it if they or any other government agency were planning to oust the democratically elected Chavez? Even if they knew about it? (again State dept. not being in the invasion business.)

The country's vast oil reserves - the largest in the Americas - have given it a strategic importance

Venezuela’s President, Hugo Chavez, says he is in possession of intelligence showing that the United States plans to invade his country.

In a BBC interview, Mr Chavez said the US was after his nation’s oil, much as it had been after Iraq’s.

But he stressed that any invasion would never be allowed to happen.

Mr Chavez has long accused Washington of being behind what he describes as a coup – claims the United States denies.
